Will Paris Hilton Cop a Plea in Drug Case?

She could still avoid jail time, however, having been offered a plea deal following her arrest for cocaine possession. The question is whether she'll jump at it.

The ho-tel heiress can keep her purdy a$$ out of jail by pleading guilty to two misdemeanor charges, a drug count and a count of lying to a police officer.

Paris Hilton would still have to appear in court to enter a plea.

She is scheduled to be arraigned in Las Vegas on October 27. The original charge she was hit with the night that she and Cy Waits got popped was possession of a felony controlled substance. Will she take the deal? She has to, right?

A spokeswoman for the Clark County District Attorney's Office declined to discuss any specifics of a plea, but did say that the offense is punishable by up to a year in jail ... or could warrant mere probation. So who the heck knows.
